PAEANS OF PRAISE ARE ALWAYS SUNG MR. JESSURUN TELLS OF MANY IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE AT ANAHEIM SUGAR FACTORY CHARLES EYGABROAD SEES A UNITY OF PURPOSE UPON THE PART OF THE PEOPLE OF ANAHEIM While a large crowd of citizens were out to hear something relative to the inauguration here of a cotton mill, the same being exploited by Messrs. Cort and Bush of Los Angeles, who were scheduled to make addresses at the business men's luncheon on Thursday, and while a certain degree of disappointment was expressed at the inability of these gentlemen to be present, still the assemblage was highly pleased at the remarks made by Mr. Eygabroad, of the Anaheim National Bank and D. Jessurun, of the Anaheim Sugar company. In the absence of the Los Angeles speakers Mr. Backs called upon these gentlemen for remarks, which proved highly interesting. These gentlemen always have something good to say about Anaheim, and this occasion was no exception. Mr. Eygabroad gave short narratives of his recent Eastern trip and believed that no other unit of our en- of age by reason of the impregnation of this material. Mr. Jessurun said the sugar mill uses 2,000,000 cubic feet of gas per day when running to capacity, which is equal to the combined amount of gas used by all the towns in the county in a month. The speaker said they did not fear a railroad strike or other calamity that might tie up traffic and thereby prevent fuel oil from being delivered, because the natural gas is piped to the factory from the nearby oil fields. There is an unlimited supply of this commodity close at hand which is an important factor for any manufacturing enterprise. The speaker said he has in his mind's eye other factories springing up here for this particular reason of having cheapened fuel and there is no doubt the time is coming when many other smoke stacks will rear their heads in our midst. We have natural advantages here unequalled in any other locality in the Southland and it is reasonable to suppose that Orange county and this section is really in its infancy as to the development of its natural resources. The sugar mill is to be increased immediately for handling next year's crop of beets and a large force of men are now engaged in the preliminary work. The force of 68 men now employed there will be doubled within the next thirty days and will be continued for an indefinite period. New equipment will necessitate expenditure of at least a quarter of a million dollars. Mr. Jessurun's remarks were heartily applauded, for everyone present knew the vast meaning to this city of what he said. The factory when enlarged will be equal to most of the factories now operated in the state and is one of the main factors in the up-building of Anaheim and vicinity.

THE NEW Most people have liar sect, the Shak any knowledge of pleased at the remarks made by Mr. Eygabroad, of the Anaheim National Bank and D. Jessurun, of the Anaheim Sugar company. In the absence of the Los Angeles speakers Mr. Backs called upon these gentlemen for remarks, which proved highly interesting. These gentlemen always have something good to say about Anaheim, and this occasion was no exception. Mr. Eygabroad gave short narratives of his recent Eastern trip and believed that no other unit of our environment meant more to us than our good roads. While down east the placard upon his touring car, bearing the inscription, "Anaheim, the Frostless Belt," attracted great attention and upon several occasions people, who had been here, on sight seeing expeditions, remarked that they were favorably impressed with California, and especially Orange county, and, of course, Anaheim. Mr. Eygabroad said he heard many comments concerning this section which were creditable and sincere, and among them our paved highways came in for a good deal of praise. The speaker told of the manner in which traffic officers in the city of New York kept the throngs moving upon their busy thoroughfares by a code of prepared signals, which were no more nor less than cooperation upon the part of the minions of the law, and Mr. Eygabroad said it took no stretch of the imagination to see the same unity of purpose shown in Anaheim. The people are becoming more united for the upbuilding of Anaheim. That is as it should be, but Mr. Eygabroad allows there yet remains much for us to do to further spread our fame throughout the eastern and middle western states. In speaking of tourists going to Europe to see the sights, Mr. Eygabroad said in Yellowstone Park more wonders of scenic beauty are to be seen than were ever dreamed of in all Europe. Nature's hand, in moulding the beauties there, is everywhere apparent and the wonders are really indescribable. They must be seen to be appreciated. The speaker said upon his return trip homeward he was impressed as to the vastness of this wonder land and can not see where the beauties are equalled anywhere upon the earth. Many tourists are now availing themselves of the opportunity to see "California First," and figuratively one can untold hordes of climatic refugees heading this way in the next Mr. Jessurun's remarks were heartily applauded, for everyone present knew the vast meaning to this city of what he said. The factory when enlarged will be equal to most of the factories now operated in the state and is one of the main factors in the upbuilding of Anaheim and vicinity. Fred Backs chairman of the meeting, said he had another speaker on his list, and called upon J. W. Wallop. Mr. Wallop thanked the toastmaster for the honor in calling upon him for an address, but said he never before made a speech and did not intend to begin now. Mr. Wallop beamed one of his smiles that never wears off and the assemblage took it for granted that John was sincere in what he said and they let it go at that. Mr. Jessurun enthused new life into the minds of all those present by his words of encouragement and when the meeting adjourned everybody stepped about with buoyancy, feeling good for having been present. They shook hands with the speakers, praising them for their fine addresses and for the optimism spread throughout the large assemblage, and the men went to their places of business feeling that the New Year has many bright prospects for them all. Mr. Backs announced that C. F. Grim would be toastmaster at today's luncheon. "THE LIBERTINE" A COMPELLING PHOTOPLAY Powerful Lesson Taught by Film At The Grand for Every Mother And Girl Speaking of "The Libertine," which is to be shown at the New Grand on Sunday and Monday, January 14 and 15, Rev. Thomas B. Gregory, of New York, one of America's most noted divines says it is not an ordinary moving picture. On the other hand, it is a most extraordinary one, not alone in its scenic excellence, but in the object it has before it, which is none other than the teaching of what is, perhaps the most important lesson, or combination of lessons, that the young women need to learn. "The Libertine" is doing—and doing grandly—the work each mother should do for her row daughter, and each father for his own son. Most people haveiliar sect, the Shakai any knowledge ofandthe strict rulescolony. A drama dom will be shown theatre tonight. In the impressive production "The Viola Dana," the stroles.

They must be seen to be appreciated. The speaker said upon his return trip homeward he was impressed as to the vastness of this wonder land and can not see where the beauties are equalled anywhere upon the earth. Many tourists are now availing themselves of the opportunity to see "California First," and figuratively one can see untold hordes of climatic refugees heading this way in the next few years to come. Mr. Jessurun, of the Anaheim Sugar company, said his company plans many improvements, one of which is to increase the capacity of the plant to 1200 tons per day. At present the plant is rated at 800 tons capacity, but an increased tonnage of beets makes enlargement absolutely necessary. When Anaheim was selected as the site for the sugar mill several years ago, Mr. Jessurun wondered why such was the case, but later when water wells were sunk he realized the meaning of it all. While this section raises some of the richest sugar beets on record, the water supply is also an important factor in conducting a factory. Mr. Jessurun says one of their wells produces 2,000,000 gallons of water every twenty-four hours every day in the year. The location is an ideal one, and while this vast amount of water is taken from the soil, after use, it is returned to mother earth, by use of storage reservoirs into which the water is returned after serving its many purposes in the sugar mill. The water moreover, is enriched with fertilizing qualities, the residue from the beet pulp being of the best from that standpoint, this therefore enriching the soil through water percolation. The fertilizer ingredients taken from the surface of these earthen reservoirs is used upon their orchards and Mr. Jessurun says a three year old orange orchard easily looks like one five years "The Libertine" is doing—and doing grandly—the work each mother should do for her rown daughter, and each father for his own son. It is teaching the girls that the world is full of scoundrels, of the male persuasion, who make it a business, by the help of honeyed words and all sorts of hypocritical pretensions, to decoy inexperienced young girls from home and mother, from purity and happiness, down the perfumed, be-flowered pathways that end in hell. It doesn't hurt anybody to be brought face to face with the truth, especially when all that life is worth living for is at stake; and I would enjoy nothing more than the thought that every young girl is to see "The Libertine." Continuing Mr. Gregory says there is altogether too much mock modesty in the world. Life itself is grimly real, and its laws keep on with the remorselessness of Juggernaut. There is a law as rigid as that by which the planets swing, and here it is: "Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." There it is, and there it will stand, eternal, unyielding, and putting all so-called "delicacy" and "modesty" aside, parents should flatly inform their children just what they may expect if they break this law. To do this is, perhaps, the most pressing and important duty that falls to the mother, and if she fails to measure up to her solemn responsibility she is false to the holiest side of her motherhood.

It is indeed, an eye-opener! You can't get away from it. It grips you and holds you until you are mad through and through, not only with Jim Mills, but with the lazy, careless, thoughtless mothers who fail to safeguard their daughters' happiness by allowing them to go out into the world ignorant of its dangers and unprepared against its wiles. Messrs. Steger and Golden deserve the sincerest thanks of all lovers of girlish innocence and purity for having conceived and placed upon the screen their wonderful and much needed play. Quite aside from the high purpose served by "The Libertine" it is well worth seeing as an illustration of the perfection of the motion picture art. Simply as a production it is great, immense. The genius of Mr. Mason as Jim Mills and the exquisite acting of Miss Hanlon as Elsie Corwin create the nucleus of an almost perfect entertainment. I feel that I will have to go again to see "The Libertine." It is too big to take in at one sitting. The main impression made upon me by the play I have given, but there are other features that I must see and study later on. Success to the great production, and of the good that it aims to do may there be no end. THE NEW GRAND Most people have heard of the peculiar sect, the Shakers, but few have any knowledge of the life they lead Success to the great production, and of the good that it aims to do may there be no end. THE NEW GRAND Most people have heard of the peculiar sect, the Shakers, but few have any knowledge of the life they lead and the strict rules that governed their colony. A drama staged in Shaker-dom will be shown at the New Grand theatre tonight. In the impressive Metro Columbia production "The Gates of Eden," Viola Dana, the star, is seen in two roles. Miss Dana first takes the part of Evelyn, a Shaker mother. Evelyn, brought to the Shaker community by her father who joined it through grief when his wife died, falls in love with William Bard, a foundling who has been brought up by members of the religious sect. Bard is flogged and driven from the community. He returns after five years to learn that Evelyn has died, leaving a daughter, little Eve, whom Bard is misled into believing is also dead. Miss Dana appears as Eve, who falls in love with a youth whom Bard has adopted. Probably no other star could shine as does Miss Dana in these two roles. She is only eighteen years old now, but has been appearing in public practically all her life. When a child of five she was a solo dancer, and shortly after that she appeared in Ibsen's "When the Dead Awake." Then she had the important role of Little Hendrik in "Rip Van Winkle," playing with Joseph Jefferson for three seasons. Jefferson took much interest in the child and gave her great help in her artistic endeavors. It was in "Molly the Drummer Boy" an Edison production, that Miss Dana was first seen as a motion picture star. This proved such a tremendous success that she was induced to sign a long time contract with the Edison company, and among the features in which she was starred were "The Slavey Student," "The Blind Fiddler," "The Stone Heart," "The Innocence of Ruth," and as "Thelma" in "The Portrait in the Attic." Since joining the Metro forces Miss Dana has been starred in "The Flower of No Man's Land," "The Light of Hap- her betrothal vows. Cleo Madison interprets the duel role of the malden fair and Zoraida the sorceress in Bluebird's latest production, "Black Orchids". Rex Ingram directed the production and Bluebird declares that it will be one of its master productions from every standpoint a photo play may be judged. The last two reels of "Liberty" will be shown also at these performances. Hundreds of people have followed this serial with intense interest, and naturally they will be anxious to see the wind up. BEET GROWERS FORM CO-OPERATIVE ORGANIZATION Expect to Increase the Acreage to Half a Million The Sugar Beet Growers' association of Southern California is back of a well organized movement to vastly increase the acreage in this part of the state devoted to sugar beet growing, to disseminate information that will increase the tonage per acre and the percentage of sugar content, and to work for better prices for the growers. It is said the organization will have the hearty cooperation of the sugar factories of Southern California. The prediction was made by one of the officers of the association that within five years at least 500,000 acres classes of lands adaptable for the crops and instructions as to methods of handling the crops so as to get the best results. The association also proposes to maintain its own expert chemists at each of the sugar factories, and to do all within its power to greatly extend the acreage each year and improve the general quality of the product. The present directors of the organization are Alexander Jeffrey and R. H. Smith, Zelzah; L. W. Richardson, Owensmouth, Andrew Cook, Santa Ana. In the permanent organization, San Fernando Valley will have but one director, and there will be directors from the districts surrounding Oxnard, Talbert, Santa Ana, Chino, Anaheim and Los Alamitos. F. E. Davis is the traveling director and general manager. HAVE YOU CHANGED YOUR AUTO SEAL? If Not You'd Better Make Application For a Poppy The state motorvehicle department started the new year with its main working force busy sending out 1917 registration seals in response to the thousands of applications which were received during the last few days of This proved such a tremendous success that she was induced to sign a long time contract with the Edison company, and among the features in which she was starred were "The Slavey Student," "The Blind Fiddler," "The Stone Heart," "The Innocence of Ruth," and as "Thelma" in "The Portrait in the Attic." Since joining the Metro forces Miss Dana has been starred in "The Flower of No Man's Land," "The Light of Happiness" and "The Gates of Eden." "The Black Orchids," with Cleo Madison in the star role, will be given Friday and Saturday at the three performances. The beautiful Zoraida was as fickle and treacherous in her affairs of the heart as she was ravenously appealing to men of Parisian night life. Ivan seemed to love, until Ivan's father coveted Zoraida and used his influence to send his boy into the trenches. Then Zoraida showered her affection upon the old man until Marquis De Chantal was introduced to her. Straightway she cast off her elderly lover and was on with the new. The jilted old man arranged a cup of polson for his younger and handsomer rival—but Zoraida switched the goblets and the poisoner was poisoned. Then Ivan suddenly returned from the war, and claimed Zoraida for his own. The beautiful wretch fawned upon Ivan, aroused the jealousy of the Marquis, and soon the two men met at sword's length upon the field of honor. In the belief that he had mortally wounded his antagonist Ivan proceeded to indulge himself in Zoraida's love. But the Marquis survived long enough to entrap the youth and his sweetheart in a living tomb—and then the sword wound took effect and the Marquis passed away. This tragic tale is told by a father whose daughter is evidencing marked tendencies to flirt with every man she saw and disregard well organized movement to vastly increase the acreage in this part of the state devoted to sugar beet growing, to disseminate information that will increase the tonage per acre and the percentage of sugar content, and to work for better prices for the growers. It is said the organization will have the hearty cooperation of the sugar factories of Southern California. The prediction was made by one of the officers of the association that within five years at least 500,000 acres of Southern California lands will be devoted to sugar beet growing, and that the business will be put on a much more profitable basis than at present. Temporary offices of the association have been opened in the law offices of David G. Hathaway at 722 American Bank building Los Angeles. A meeting will be held within thirty days, at which time the board of directors will be increased from five to seven, and one director will be elected from each of the seven beet sugar factory districts. At present the bulk of the officers are located in the San Fernando Valley, where the association originated. There are now about 300 members of the association, and this is said to include fully 90 per cent of the beet growers of Southern California. It is estimated that there are fully 2000 beet growers in this region, and the campaign of the past few days has indicated that the major portion of these are ready to enter the association and work for the general advancement of the beet growing industry. In this connection, it is interesting to note that the Japanese association of 120 beet growers has signified its desire to enter the larger organization, and it is stated that they will be taken in at the meeting soon to be held. Experts on sugar beet growing will be engaged to give advice as to the YOUR AUTO SEAL? If Not You'd Better Make Application For a Poppy The state motorvehicle department started the new year with its main working force busy sending out 1917 registration seals in response to the thousands of applications which were received during the last few days of the old year, congesting the office. It will be several days before Superintendent H. A. French cleans up the business on hand, and it is probable that by that time between 25,000 and 50,000 new applications will have been received, keeping the department in a rush during the best part of January. Over 100,000 1917 seals have already been distributed. The 1916 records show that there are 230,000 machines in California to be registered. The department there has the assurance of the police of all the large centers that automobile owners will be treated leniently until the motor department announces that it has cleaned up all applications. It will then appear that all who have not obtained 1917 seals are either trying to evade the law or have been negligent in filing their applications. The fact that the department does not have to handle plates this year expedites the work, and the rush will not last as long as last year. Superintendent French believes that the new system of registering automobiles will save the state approximately $250,000, the plates alone under the old system costing between $75,000 and $100,000.

CALIFORNIA MINERALS IN 1916 BREAK RECORDS The statistical division of the state mining bureau, under the direction of Fletcher Hamilton, state mineralogist, has made a careful estimate, from information now available, of the mineral production of the state for the year 1916 just closed. This estimate is in advance of the actual figures which will be available later. The indications are that the total for all products, metallic and non metallic, will reach a figure approximating $119,-000,000, as against a total of $96,663,-369 in 1915, and for the first time in The estimated values for 1916 are tabulated as follows: Gold ... $22,500,000 Silver ... 1,400,000 Tungsten ... 4,000,000 Copper ... 17,000,000 Lead ... 1,000,000 Zinc ... 2,000,000 Quicksilver ... 2,500,000 Antimony, iron, molybdenum, platinum ... 59,000 Petroleum ... 49,000,000 Chrome, magnesite, manganese ... 1,500,000 Natural gas ... 1,800,000 Brick, cement, building stone, crushed rock, etc. 18,200,000 Vehicle department war with its main response to the regulations which were last few days of letting the office.

Odd Fellows Bldg. Petroleum shows an increase of about 2,000,000 barrels in quantity and some $5,000,000 in value. As to chrome, magnesite and manganese, it is too early yet to obtain any very definite idea of the amounts; but it seems likely that the total of the three will reach at least $1,500,000. There are two new items added to the commercially productive list this year, molybdenum and strontium, small amount of which were sold. Col. George Harvey, editor of the North American Review, in reviewing the recent election, has the following to say about the result in California: "And here enters California, queen of the democratic harvest, whose vote would have given the presidency to Mr. Hughes. With the column upon column of conflicting affirmations and denials of the two old guard and progressive committee we need hardly concern ourselves. Nor can we regard as of vital importance, in a great national contest, a point of etiquette as between nominees. Three hundred thousand majority for Hiram Johnson for senator and less than none for Charles E. Hughes, Hiram Johnson's avowed candidate for president. That is the one overpowering fact which dwarfs all explanations, whether of jealous progressivism or of petty pique and which will hardly be forgotten when the triumphant idol of California shall seek Washington society with honorable men."
